2008 summer progress.
Stonebrain:
Hey margussen,
Did you know wead is growing on the roof of your basement?Or is it normal?
Or do you live under the ground like rabbits do?
just kidding.
Very cool what you make of scrap.Good idea to boost the microwaveferrits with harddiskneo's.
I think that if you put them the right way(the field of the neo's reinforcing the field of the ferrits) it won't kill the ferrits.The otherway around the neos maybe kill the ferrits,but then you would have to force the neos in the ferrits.
Well,that's what I guess.Better do some tests.
Could be the most powerfull magrotor from scrap ever build!!
cheers,

It won't be a problem you have to surround the magnet for a weakening you reallydon't need much just hide that pole in the middle maybe a harddrive mag or a piece of one on a 12mm ferrite button or cut washers.

hello margus. i see your very clever.
i heard about using micro wave parts to make a wind gen
but i never had a old microwave to take to bits to see what useful stuff was inside
so now i know how i can build a wind gen using all scrap bits.
you must have put a lot of time and energy into your project.
and you used a brake disc as well.
its a shame the neo magnets are so expensive.
but now your playing with hard drive mags . so i will watch in the future
for a rebuilt wind gen with hard drive mags.
you have done sum great work. thank you for sharing.
Capt Slog:
Nice work Margus.
I don't know if you've seen this but I thought you might like it....

I think it would be well worth your time making a second rotor to face the one you already have.

Thanks for all comments!
I didn't understand really how is safe way to add neodynamium magnets.
Fill the hole in ferrite magnet with pieces of hard disc magnets in same polarity?
Aniway it working little bit better than sawblade windmill, now down in grass.
This sawblade mill had high rpm. up to 2000 in storm conditions but it killed finally a bearing holder. Less than 2 Years uptime.
Some upgrade for new generator.
But with double rotor it was too heavy and I decided to cut down from 8 meters to 6.
Now it raises easily. New pictures not taken yet.
